Dread Expectations

Face the Most Feared Supervillain of Our Age!

Doctor Dread is widely considered the most fearsome supervillain currently in operation. She’s a master of social and media manipulation, but whether it’s targeting the East Coast with her solar cannon or freezing the mayor’s family in liquid nitrogen, she’s followed through on her myriad extortion schemes often enough—and horribly enough—to prove they’re not hollow threats.

So when her Dread Corps commandos assault the New York Museum of Art to steal a 3,000-year-old mummy, it’s up to your superhero team to stop her. But is the mummy, with its rumored mystical properties, really what Doctor Dread wants—or does she have something even bigger in mind?
